This post is for those out there who have shared my frustration in editing HDV in Vegas 8. I've had several projects that have been a nightmare where I have had enormous difficulties editing and rendering a finished product.
However, I just finished a 30 minute 1080i project shot in 30P on a V1U and to my immense delight I had no problems whatsoever. So I'm wondering whether this is because I'm working on a fresh install of Vista & Vegas or if it is due to the settings that I used. Since so many other people have had problems with Vista & Vegas it probably can't be machine-specific.
The only setting that I tweaked on this project is that I set my RAM Preview to 0. Initially Vegas was gobbling up tons of RAM so I just reduced it to 0 and then it stayed under 500mb in usage the rest of the time no matter what I was doing. Obviously this sucks b/c you don't have any RAM preview but I didn't have any crashes or performance issues after changing this.
Has anyone tried this tweak to see if it helps on your end with crashes?
